Title: What rear shocks are a direct fit for S2r 1000? Post by: Jruwducati on March 29, 2019, 10:33:20 AM Looking to purchase new rear shock for my s2r 1k. I’ve read that the Ohlins Du 321 and Du333 are direct swaps. Anyone installed these personally and can confirm this? Thanks

Title: Re: What rear shocks are a direct fit for S2r 1000? Post by: Jruwducati on April 02, 2019, 02:27:23 PM I’ll definitely post some feedback once complete. I’m going to raise the rear slightly and drop the front a little too. Not sure how much yet. I was hoping to get some more feedback on here. I’ll also be installing race tech springs and valves into my showa forks and fully servicing those as well. Last but not least I have bought a speedy moto triple clamp kit for the top and bottom. Very excited to get it all done.

The forum has been kinda quiet lately. And, I think majority of the people who used to own S4R / S2R already have moved onto something else. Quote I’m going to raise the rear slightly and drop the front a little too. I would caution against that idea (at least, don't jump into that "lowering the front and raising the rear" thing.) I would say, after getting the new shock and front forks service / mod are done, ride around for at least 3 months with the stock ride height setting. You will thank me after riding through series of tight decreasing radius corners on the downhill in rainy night. Title: Re: What rear shocks are a direct fit for S2r 1000? Post by: koko64 on April 02, 2019, 07:29:51 PM Yep. One change at a time and then evaluate [thumbsup]. Let us know what you feel with each adjustment. Write down all your impressions and adjustments after each ride. I have seen no end of bad feeling front suspensions caused by poorly set up rear shocks or incorrect ride height adjustments both front and rear. I have personal preferences for ride height and weight distribution on my M900 and M750 which are for quite different purposes. Your S4R is a different beast again. An improvement in one aspect often has a negative effect on another. For example its difficult to set a bike up for both great corner entry and exit, but easier to set up for either alone. Take your time and enjoy being a test rider. [thumbsup]
